Ward the $125,000damages which a jury in the Civil pInDistrict Court awarded him as com- napensation for the land on which Mr. coWard's mill stands, and adjacent s1land owned by him, which was taken miby the Levee Board and used for halevee purposes. Mr. Ward sued for pa$153,005.31 damages. After a long.drawn-out and bitterly fought trial,the jury returned a verdict in Mr.Ward's favor for $125,000. sowiREHEARING ASKED IN LEVEEBOARD IN WARD DECISION. PatEffect "Most Pernicious" Attorney wFor River Body Insists. 114ra"The award of $125,000 to WilliamWard, Algiers sawmill owner, by thestate supreme court for propertytaken by the Orleans levee board forlevee purposes, virtually eliminatesthe levee board from participation inany dock and levee raising project ascontemplated last week, meat anIncrease in taxation and can only result in the 'most pernicious" consequences."This statement was made Mondayby Arthur McGuirk, attorney for thelevee board, in announcing that hewould immediately seek a rehearingand will ask that the entire supremecourt of nine judges sit upon thecase when it Is again opened.If this ruling is to hold, Mr. McGuirk said, there will be nothing tot prevent a person owning river frontproperty from erecting a levee farout in the river, thus reserving forhimself the land right up to thewater's edge with no leve protec. tion to the citizens of New Orleans,d as the levee board would not own theshore property on which to buildi levees.Questions Decision. He referred to this in connectionf with the part of the supreme courte. decision, rendered by Judge John St.. Paul, holding that only the land from. the water's edge to the levee "erected. by the land owner" is public prop, erty on which levees might be erected.h "The effects of the decision," Mr.d McGuirk said, "are so far reaching)f that it virtually extinguishes bothr- levee and commercial servitudes; Its- strikes down the levee board and canat result only in the most perniciously consequences.to "If this decision is to stand I dod not see how the people of New Ortd leans are to be protected In theirA lives and property without almosta- confiscatory taxation. It confronts17 the people of New Orleans and thed entire state with a most serious sitm atlo, because, if men may takek possession and monopolize the rivern- bank it will take millions to pay fored improvements and land for levee'- sites."The cost of actual construction ofto earthen embankment levees is nottl' high. A comparatively great stretchth may be erected for $20,000 to $25,000!x yet if the decision of the high courta is to stand a matter of 10,000 squareis feet will cost $125,000. That is, inaddition to the cost of the levees willrequire $125,000 for land and improvement to place it upon."As there are some 80-odd milesalong the New Orleans river front toto be protected, it requires no matheed matlcal genius to arrive at the fabae lous amount, it will require for thisla. protection under the present inadery quate method, not to consider then. raising the docks and levee protecat- trons to standard height as advocatedi. by the Mississippi River Commissiont and approved by the levee board lastad week.re "Withal, the decision of the court,il- if it is to stand--and we propose to'in- break it if possible, will be to paralyse eforts of the levee board andet the country district boards as well,art and block to a serious extent any," building of new wharves and otherstrctares. It also strips the levealt board of the larger pt of Its arg thority in demandlng Imprevemeatsae pridvate ,wrepet."HERBERT E. VINTIARD 'KILLEDFlowers Placed on Casket by KuKlux KlanHerbert E.
